Naomh Padraig members skydive in Australia for Movember ahead of club's Ulster final

Trio honours late clubmate Evan Craig while raising funds for men’s health before cheering on their team from afar

Naomh Padraig members skydive in Australia for Movember ahead of club's Ulster final

Three Naomh Padraig, Uisce Chaoin members now living in Australia marked the morning of their club’s first-ever Ulster Junior Football final with a daring skydive for charity.  

Chris O’Donnell, Shane McColgan, and Matthew Doherty took to the skies in support of Movember, raising awareness and funds for men’s health. 

The trio’s skydive took place just hours before Naomh Padraig faced Craigbane in Celtic Park. Proudly representing their Donegal roots, the three held a Naomh Padraig flag in a poignant tribute to late club member Evan Craig with his club number 13, who passed away earlier this year. 

Evan Craig was 24 when he passed away in September after a battle with cancer.

Despite being thousands of miles away, the three will be cheering on their team as they make history in the Ulster final, showing the unwavering connection between Naomh Padraig and its global community.
